| <p> '''''booz´um''''' ( κόλπος Ἀβραάμ , <i> '''''kólpos Abraám''''' </i> ; κόλποι Ἀβραάμ , <i> '''''kólpoi Abraám''''' </i> ): Figurative. The expression occurs in Luke 16:22 , Luke 16:23 , in the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, to denote the place of repose to which [[Lazarus]] was carried after his death. The figure is suggested by the practice of the guest at a feast reclining on the breast of his neighbor. Thus, John leaned on the breast of [[Jesus]] at supper ( John 21:20 ). The rabbis divided the state after death ( <i> '''''Sheol''''' </i> ) into a place for the righteous and a place for the wicked (see [[Eschatology]] Of Old Testament; [[Sheol]] ); but it is doubtful whether the figure of Jesus quite corresponds with this idea. "Abraham's bosom" is not spoken of as in "Hades," but rather as distinguished from it ( Luke 16:23 ) - a place of blessedness by itself. There [[Abraham]] receives, as at a feast, the truly faithful, and admits them to closest intimacy. It may be regarded as equivalent to the "Paradise" of Luke 23:43 . See [[Hades]]; [[Paradise]] . </p> | | <p> See [[Abraham]] 'S [[Bosom]] . </p> |
